Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imaro" data-source="post: 3356864" data-attributes="member: 48965">IKCG, IKWG, Monsternomicon, Five Fingers, Liber Mechanika,...I guess the witchfire modules(don't have these, but still only come up with 8(I guess you could push it and say Lock & Load as well, so 9), but this is the total number of books they've put out since 3.0 not 3.5 was created.P.S. Maybe I'm missing some, am I?  On the other hand Eberron has released, ECS, RoE, Sharn, ExplHB, 5Nations, MoE, Exp toXen, FaithsoEb, EbPG, Dragonmarked, Shadows of the last War, 3(or is it 4) modules, Eberron DM screen, Eberron pc sheets.  And yes, before anyone throws out the "Don't buy it if you don't want it card" already done.So even without the screen or the sheets it's still 14 since after 3.5 came out, compare that to the number of products put out for IK since 3.5, five, and it's over twice as many books.  This compounded with the fact that I felt(IMHO) the IK books give me way more information about the actual world for less money than Eberron books do kind of settled it for me.  The number of Eberron books wouldn't be so bad to me but I'm also not keen on how the books are coming out for Eberron.  This is of course all my opinion, but I really wish they had fleshed out the rest of Khorvaire before doing books on Xendrik, Sarlona, and the Last War.  I feel like none of the monster kingdoms, Valenar, Lhazaar Principalities, etc. have been covered but we're on to another continent already.  Even a book about an island that's never going to be detailed got published before the basics.Lastly I'm not sure what Eberron's focus is anymore.  When I bought it I was hooked by the pulp, noir, dark fantasy tag.  I see the pulp and to a lesser extent the noir(though not much) but I don't consider it a dark fantasy setting at all.  At least no darker than FR or GH.  And if I just wanted a pulp setting I'm not sure D&D is the game I would use.Anyway as you can see my decision wasn't just a more books vs. less books decision but that was a factor in it.</blockquote>
